"Those guys you named, they are hard-working guys," Wayne told ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky. "They aren't into all that diva stuff. I got kind of upset a couple years ago, somebody put me into that category. I don't even know what it means. As a professional football player at the receiver position, you know how much running and how much hard work it is that you have to dedicate yourself to, to be successful. Whenever you say those names that you did, I respect all of those guys. I respect everybody in this league, period.

"As far as the diva stuff, man, I hope it is gone. I hope you get more guys out there that like to work hard and go out and enjoy playing football."
